RVNL wins Maharashtra Metro Contracts

State-owned Rail Vikas Nigam (RVNL) on Wednesday emerged as the lowest bidder (L1) for an array of pivotal projects under the Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation.

The collective cost of these transformative projects amounts to an estimated Rs 2.6 (billion) bn.

Among the projects where RVNL secured the L1 position, one is the construction of six elevated metro stations, spanning from Pili Nadi to Lekha Nagar in Reach-2A.

RVNL will be responsible for the construction of one elevated station, Ecopark, and one at-grade station, Metro City.

RVNL will undertake earthwork, boundary wall, and retaining wall construction for at-grade sections.

RVNL's expertise will come into play in crafting elevated metro track supporting structures.

The construction of a multi-storied building at Tulsi School land (located at Sitabuldi) as part of Maha Metro's Phase-2 expansion.

Shares of Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd ended at Rs 128.55, up by Rs 0.90, or 0.71% on the BSE.

On account of a strong order book and rising allocation in the rail infrastructure by the government, RVNL could see a major upside.

RVNL was listed in 2019 and the company's shares have seen a massive rally since then, rising over 500%. This was on the back of improved prospects.

SoftBank to exit Zomato

Japanese investor SoftBank, which booked a profit of more than Rs 1 bn after offloading a partial stake in food delivery platform Zomato this week, is looking to fully exit the company via open market transactions in the coming months.

The Zomato block deal on 30 August marked yet another instance of a profitable secondary share sale for the Japanese investor in recent months.

SoftBank has another 2.2% stake in Zomato, which it is also looking to offload via block deals in the coming months.

SoftBank sold 100 m Zomato shares at an average floor price of Rs 94.70 apiece against an average cost price of Rs 83-85, netting a profit of Rs 10-12 a share.

SoftBank got a stake in Zomato after the food tech unicorn acquired quick commerce company Blinkit, formerly Grofers, in June 2022.

The Japanese investor entered Zomato at a little under Rs 71, but if blended with its original investment in Blinkit, which was written down significantly, the average cost price for SoftBank amounted to around Rs 85 a share.

Zomato is not SoftBank's original investment so the investor won't hold onto the stake.
